The Fredericton Arts Alliance Artist in Residence Program 2015 A collaborative music project this week in the Barracks. Continuing from last week until July 19 musicians and artists Natalie Sappier and Nate Miller are joining forces to create music as the Artists in Residence for the Fredericton Arts Alliance in the Soldiers’ Barracks. Natalie Sappier specializes in Aboriginal symbolism and storytelling of the Wolastoq and Maliseet People of New Brunswick. Nate Miller is a professional drummer, who has been involved in underground music scenes across Canada. He promotes and leads spiritual drumming events and teaches hand drumming. In 2007 he founded his own production company, Emanate 7. Miller will be recording the collaboration, and playing percussion. Sappier will be combining Aboriginal chanting with a dialog of sound and voice. Working collaboratively will be a new experience for them, and they are encouraging feedback from visitors, as part of their creative process. The Artists in Residence program continues throughout the summer, with two artists sharing the space for a week at a time. While there, they are prepared to demonstrate their work, their tools and techniques and talk about the things that inspire their creations. The studio is open 10am to 5pm, Monday through Saturday and noon to 5pm on Sunday. It’s the fourteenth year for the FAA program, which receives support from the city of Fredericton, Downtown Fredericton. For more information, please visit www.frederictonartsalliance.ca.

Hannah’s Tea Place is Becoming a Family Affair The Fredericton Region Museum is excited to announce the launch of the 5th annual Hannah’s Tea Place – but this year there’s a twist! Since Hannah is out of town for the summer visiting her aunt, her father will be looking after the Tea Place. Join Benjamin Ingraham at the Officers’ Quarters for an afternoon of irresistible iced tea, scrumptious snickerdoodle cookies, and engaging tales of life as a Loyalist in Ste. Anne’s Point. If you’re feeling crafty, you can even try your hand at rug hooking, one of Benjamin’s favourite pass times. Hannah’s dad will be at the Museum all summer long, and would love to have you drop by to enjoy some tasty treats, unique crafts, and stories about the life of a New Brunswick Loyalist. Hannah’s Tea Place runs every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoon from 1-4pm for the months of July and August. You can find Benjamin upstairs on the balcony of the Fredericton Region Museum, located at 571 Queen Street on the edge of Officers’ Square. As part of a community social project, all of Benjamin’s rug hooking projects will be donated to the Greener Village Community Food Centre. Any donations of yarn or burlap would be much appreciated (contact us at 455-6041). Discover more about Hannah’s Tea Place at facebook.com/hannahsteaplace. Back to top 5. Penny’s Flic Pic: The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared Jul 9 Shannex Parkland Fredericton is showing the comedy film The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed out the Window and Disappeared on July 9 at 2pm in the Carleton Theatre Governor Hall. After a long and colorful life working in munitions and getting entangled in the Spanish Civil War, the Manhattan Project, and other definitive events of the 20th Century, Allan Karlsson finds himself stuck in a nursing home. Determined to escape on his 100th birthday, he leaps out of a window and onto the nearest bus, kicking off an unexpected journey involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some wicked criminals, and an elephant named Sonya. Like an unruly Nordic cousin of Forrest Gump, Allan’s youthful escapades and current adventures weave together into an offbeat treat for anyone who’s young at heart. Starring beloved comedian Robert Gustafsson, this fanciful spin on world history is based on a best-selling novel and is also the highest-grossing Swedish film of all time.
